The US and its allies struck civil and military facilities in Syria, violating the UN Charter and international law, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, responding to the American-French-British intervention in Syria.

Washington launched “an aggression against a sovereign state which is at the forefront of the fight against terrorism,” the statement from the president said. Putin stressed that the multi-national strikes were not sanctioned by the UN Security Council, and were carried out “in violation of the UN Charter and principles of international law.”

Washington and its allies unleashed the bombardment in the early hours of Saturday in retaliation for the alleged chemical attack by the Assad government in the town of Douma, 10 kilometers from Damascus, last week. The strikes were conducted before a team of investigators from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was due to reach Douma to determine whether the attack had indeed taken place.

Syrian air defense systems have intercepted the majority of cruise missiles and air-surface missiles from the allies, the Russian Defense Ministry said earlier, adding that none of its own air defense units were involved in repelling the attack. According to the latest data from the Russian MoD, Syria intercepted at least 71 cruise missiles out of the 103 launched by the allies on Saturday… … …(read more)… … …

Contrary to what its multi-million dollar international PR campaign would have you believe, the “White Helmets” are not a group of volunteer search-and-rescue workers that sprang spontaneously out of the Syrian soil. When you peel back the layers of foreign financing and reveal the foreign intelligence operatives and murky lobbying groups at the heart of the organization, what you find is that the White Helmets are, in fact, a propaganda construct.

(Russia Insight) ~ Syrian air defenses intercepted most of the missiles launched by the US and its allies, according to the Head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff, Sergey Rudskoy. He said there were no victims among the Syrian military or civilians.

Perhaps the most surprising news surrounding the US, British and French strike on Syria Saturday morning was the report that the country’s Air Defense Force managed to shoot down just shy of 70% of the Western cruise missiles launched. Sputnik looks at how the Syrians managed to do it.

The Western attack, executed this morning at 4:00 am Syrian time on April 14, saw US Navy warships in the Red Sea and Air Force B-1B bombers and F-15 and F-16 aircraft rain dozens of ship and air-launched cruise missiles down on the Syrian capital of Damascus, an airbase outside the city, a so-called chemical weapons storage facility near Homs, and an equipment storage facility and command post, also near Homs. B1-Bs are typically armed with JASSM cruise missiles, which have a 450 kg warhead and a range of 370 km. US Navy warships launched Tomahawks, which have 450 kg warheads and an operational range of between 1,300 and 2,500 km.

The British Royal Air Force’s continent for the assault consisted of four Tornado GR4 ground attack aircraft armed with the Storm Shadow long-range air-to-surface missile, which the UK’s Defense Ministry said targeted ‘chemical weapons sites’ in Homs. These weapons have a range of 400 km.

Finally, France sent its Aquitaine frigate, armed with SCALP naval land attack cruise missiles (SCALP the French military’s name for the Storm Shadow), as well as several Dassault Rafale fighters, also typically armed with SCALP or Apache cruise missiles.

According to the Russian defense ministry, the B-1Bs also fired GBU-38 guided air bombs.

Undoubtedly weary of the prospect of having their aircraft shot down after Israel lost one of its F-16s over Syria in February, the Western powers presumably launched their weapons from well outside the range of Syrian air defenses, with all the targets located just 70-90 km of the Mediterranean Sea, and having to fly through Lebanon first.

ATTACK BLUNTED
However, notwithstanding the powerful collection of weaponry arrayed against them, the Syrian Army seems to have managed, for the most part, to blunt the attack.

Several hours after the strikes, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the majority of the missiles launched were intercepted by Syria’s Air Defense Force, who shot downsome 71 of the 103 cruise missiles detected. This included the interception of all 12 missiles launched at the Al-Dumyar airbase northeast of Damascus. Syrian media, for its part, reported that the military had destroyed 20 missiles over Damascus alone… … …

The Russian Defense Ministry has presented what it says is proof that the reported chemical weapons attack in Syria was staged. It also accused the British government of pressuring the perpetrators to speed up the “provocation.”

During a briefing on Friday, the ministry showed interviews with two people, who, it said, are medical professionals working in the only hospital operating in Douma, a town near the Syrian capital, Damascus.

In the interviews released to the media, the two men reported how footage was shot of people dousing each other with water and treating children, which was claimed to show the aftermath of the April 7 chemical weapons attack. The patients shown in the video suffered from smoke poisoning and the water was poured on them by their relatives after a false claim that chemical weapons were used, the ministry said.

“Please, notice. These people do not hide their names. These are not some faceless claims on the social media by anonymous activists. They took part in taking that footage,” said ministry spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov.

“The Russian Defense Ministry also has evidence that Britain had a direct involvement in arranging this provocation in Eastern Ghouta,” the general added, referring to the neighborhood of which Douma is part. “We know for certain that between April 3 and April 6 the so-called White Helmets were seriously pressured from London to speed up the provocation that they were preparing.”… … …

FALSE FLAG & WAR CRIMES RED ALERT: U.S. TRAINING ITS MERCENARY-TERRORISTS IN SYRIA FOR FALSE FLAG CHEMICAL ATTACK AS BASIS FOR AIRSTRIKES ON ANTI-TERRORISTS FORCES OF THE SYRIAN, IRANIAN & RUSSIAN MILITARY FORCES.

Russia’s Defense Ministry says “US instructors” are training militants to stage false flag chemical attacks in south Syria. The incidents are said to be a pretext for airstrikes on Syrian government troops and infrastructure.

“We have reliable information at our disposal that US instructors have trained a number of militant groups in the vicinity of the town of At-Tanf, to stage provocations involving chemical warfare agents in southern Syria,” Russian General Staff spokesman General Sergey Rudskoy said at a news briefing on Saturday.

“Early in March, the saboteur groups were deployed to the southern de-escalation zone to the city of Deraa, where the units of the so-called Free Syrian Army are stationed.”

They are preparing a series of chemical munitions explosions. This fact will be used to blame the government forces. The components to produce chemical munitions have been already delivered to the southern de-escalation zone under the guise of humanitarian convoys of a number of NGOs.”

The planned provocations will be widely covered in the Western media and will ultimately be used as a pretext by the US-led coalition to launch strikes on Syria, Rudskoy warned.

“The provocations will be used as a pretext by the United States and its allies to launch strikes on military and government infrastructure in Syria,” the official stated.

“We’re registering the signs of the preparations for the possible strikes. Strike groups of the cruise missile carriers have been formed in the east of the Mediterranean Sea, Persian Gulf and Red Sea.”… … …

Guy Mettan, a writer, publicist and head of the Swiss Press Club, informed that the international organization Reporters Without Borders attempted to stop the panel discussion and the presentation of the film “They Do not Care About Us” , which criticizes the White Helmets.

“The request to cancel the press conference on the White Helmets’ activities contradicts completely the organization’s goals. It is very unexpected and sad to see how the Organization of Journalists, in fact, requires censorship. This was my first reaction,” said Mettan.

It is worth noting that this is the first time in a 20-year history when the Swiss Press Club has received similar demands from the Organization of Journalists created to protect freedom of speech and freedom.

It is necessary to remind the fact that the members of the organization “Swedish doctors for human rights” recently conducted an independent investigation and found out that representatives of the White Helmets could imitate the rescue of wounded children in Syria. The organization reached similar conclusions after analyzing video recordings published by the White Helmets.

why did Reporters Without Borders suddenly sabotage the film that disclosures George Soros’ henchmen? Maybe, they are not the ones who are real “reporters” and they have enough “borders”?.. … …

Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization possess depots and hideouts which contain toxic weapons in a number of villages and towns, particularly in Ma’arat Misrin , 9km north of Idleb city, local sources said Sunday.

Local sources told SANA that al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization possesses a number of depots which contain toxic materials in Idleb Province, asserting that the Takfiri organization stores shells filled with toxic materials in the towns of Ghazleh and Ma’arat Misrin.

On 19 October, The US Department of State admitted that Ahrar al-Sham terrorist organization possesses chemical weapons in Idleb.

Part of the toxic substances possessed by the terrorists of Jabhat al-Nusra is locally made, while the other part is manufactured in private factories, likely Americans… … …

The same “team” of White Helmets in Daraa were filmed on 20th June 2017 standing on the slaughtered bodies of SAA soldiers, piled into the back of a pick-up truck, while extremists parade the soldiers severed heads as trophies. The same team of White Helmets in Daraa were filmed cheering and mopping up after an extremist extra judicial execution in Daraa on the 16th May 2017. Channel 4 have showcased this team of terrorists, displaying “solidarity” with the firefighters tackling the tragic blaze at Grenfell Tower.

As the Grenfell tower fire began to die down, propaganda began ramping up in England. Channel 4, long known to support terrorist organizations and the war in Syria, aired a shockingly insulting video directed at London firefighters that scarcely anyone in the firefighting community or general public even noticed. The Channel 4 program aired what was supposed to be another round of tribute for London firefighters and their bravery at Grenfell, but what it actually showed was terrorist support group White Helmets “expressing solidarity” for the London firefighters and holding up banners expressing the same sentiment.

“With no regard for the ever-mounting evidence, exposing the White Helmets as Al Qaeda co-workers and enablers in Syria, Channel 4 once again promoted this group of NATO and Gulf state funded criminals, as heroes,” wrote Vanessa Beeley of 21st Century Wire.

“The genuine firefighters in London should be insulted that their own valiant efforts are compared or conflated with a fraudulent group of terrorists and petty criminals who campaign for war to ensure further bloodshed in Syria”……………………………………….

A member of the so-called White Helmets which has been hailed by the western media as ‘peace-bearing heroes’ has been caught on camera helping a group of unidentified militants disposing the bodies of beheaded Syrian Army soldiers.

Graphic footage posted on Twitter on June 20 shows a man wearing a T-shirt with the White Helmets logo dumping a pile of bodies, allegedly being that of Syrian Army soldiers or pro-government fighters.

The gut-wrenching footage shows that many bodies in the pile are beheaded and one militant even shows a severed head of a soldier up close on camera.

“Impartial and humanitarian White Helmets [are] participating in the beheading and throwing of Syrian soldiers bodies at a dumpster in Daraa,” a caption under the video posted on Twitter reads.

Daraa is a southern Syrian province bordering Jordan where several rebel factions as well as Al-Nusra terrorist group and its affiliates are operating……………….

After the chemical fake bombings, the ‘barrel bombs, the ridiculous ‘Hollywood Oscar’ to the al-Qaeda’s ‘White Helmets’, the CIA/M16/Mossad State criminals now came out with more bullshit, using the usual mainstream subservient media liars…

Foreign and Expatriates Ministry categorically denied the U.S. administration’s accusations that the Syrian government is using a crematory to hide mass murders at Sednaya prison.

In a statement the Ministry described the U.S. accusations about “a crematorium” used by the Syrian government at Sednaya prison to cover up mass murders as “a new Hollywood story” that is dissociated from reality and “fundamentally untrue”, referring also to the old accusations repeatedly brought up on the alleged use of “barrel bombs” and “chemical weapons”.

These new accusations about a crematory are part of the act of fabricating lies and creating false allegations persistently practiced by the successive U.S. administrations with the aim to justify their policies of aggression and intervention in sovereign states, the source said……………

Lyndon LaRouche characterized the military strike by the United States against Syria as a British coup in progress against the President of the United States which must be met by the American population stamping out all British imperial influences in the United States.In reviewing the Syria bombing ordered by President Donald J. Trump yesterday, Lyndon and Helga LaRouche condemned it in the strongest terms possible. President Trump received a fraudulent briefing on the event itself—asserting that Bashar al-Assad was responsible for a chemical weapons attack on his own population – despite the fact that U.S. military forces on the ground in Syria knew that the chemicals came from an Al-Qaeda base, as stated by Russia and Syria. President Trump was lied to by individuals in his national security/intelligence chain of command. The sources utilized to claim Syrian culpability for the attack are exclusively British, the same people who are coordinating the international attack on Trump’s Presidency, in an effort to destroy any positive potential for relationships with Russia and China to rebuild the U.S. and world economy. This was a violation of international law. Trump was setup. “The British set this in motion against the entire human race,” Lyndon LaRouche emphasized.

LaRouche said the Trump must immediately seek out those responsible for the fraud and fire them. A United Nations investigation of the incident must occur immediately. Following both, a war crimes prosecution would be appropriate. The President should never listen to the British. It is not accidental that this setup occurred right when the President was meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping—a meeting which has the British and their Wall Street allies completely apoplectic—a meeting which could portend a new and peaceful paradigm for economic and scientific progress.

More than 80 people were killed in the incident in Syria, but a few weeks ago in the Iraqi city of Mosul, a U.S.-led coalition airstrike reportedly killed more than 200. In both cases government officials claimed terrorist munitions had been targeted. The Syria attack sparked immediate reaction – both in the media and from Western officials.

Trump has ‘drunk the Kool Aid’ on Syria narrative[fmr diplomat]

Dozens of people were killed on Tuesday by an apparent gas attack in Idlib, Syria. President Donald Trump spoke on the topic, saying that his “view of Assad has changed.” Former diplomat Jim Jatras joins “News with Ed” to discuss the impact of the reported chemical attack on geopolitics in the region and why he believes the mainstream media narrative of the Syrian conflict is flawed.

The rush to blame the Syrian government over what occurred in Idlib’s Khan Sheykhoun has resulted in calls for objectivity not only on the part of Syria, Russia, Iran, but also from within some quarters of the US establishment. The chemical, gas attack in Idlib, to many, would serve no interest of President Assad at a time of peace talks &, arguably, an upper hand militarily. It may though serve militants well, who have been able to not only store & use chemical weapons in the past, but can now use this to pressure the US & others into a more aggressive direct policy in Syria; if Trump’s reaction to the attack is anything to go by, they may have succeeded in that regard. Is this US administration going to step away from its refusal to force regime change in Syria? YES!!! Because all pro-Zionist are liars and murderers from the very beginning.

Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al-Moallem reaffirmed on Thursday that the Syrian Arab Army didn’t and will not use any kind of chemical weapons even against the terrorists who target the Syrian people.

In a press conference in Damascus, al-Moallem pointed out that the lie that the Syrian Army used this weapon came from countries known for always conspiring against Syria after terrorists have failed in their attacks and those countries have failed in their attempts to disrupt the political process.

“All of u learned about the statement of the Command of the Army and the Armed Forces and the statement of the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry that was sent to the UN Security Council and that sent to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative in New York, and all of these statements stressed that our forces could have not used chemical weapons neither in the past nor in the present and neither could they use them in the future in any place, and we condemn such a criminal act,” al-Moallem said.

Al-Moallem reminded the press conference that Syria had already joined the OPCW and submitted successive statements on this subject and in mid-2016, the Organization confirmed the accuracy of the Syrian data provided.

He however questioned the timing of this “unfair campaign” against Syria, linking it to the fact that the past few weeks have witnessed active movement toward national reconciliations, terrorist attacks in Jobar and the northern countryside of Hama to which the Syrian Army responded and succeeded to restore all points and the absence of terrorists from the latest Astana meeting upon Turkey’s request with the aim to disrupt the results at Astana.

He also referred to the fact at the fifth round of Geneva, the “Riyadh delegation” had only one demand there, which is to take over power.

“When all these attempts failed, they came up with the lie of the army’s using chemical weapons in Khan Sheikhoun,” said al-Moallem……. …………… ……………..

Trump Unmasked: ie, the true face of the American Zionists servants, fathers and protectors of their terrorist gangs

The United States has fired dozens of cruise missiles at a Syrian airfield in response to this week’s alleged chemical attack in the Arab country that it has blamed on the government, according to multiple media reports. The U.S. military launched on Friday morning at least 50 Tomahawk missiles against several targets on the “Shayrat” base in Homs province in western Syria, reports said citing U.S. military officials. The missiles were fired from U.S. Navy warships in the Mediterranean Sea, a official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Trump ordered the strike just a day after he pointed the finger at Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the deadly attack which killed at least 70 people in the town of Khan Shaykhun in Idlib. The foreign-sponsored militants active in the area and some Western officials blamed the attack on the Syrian military whereas Damascus rejected the allegation, insisting it “has never used them [chemical weapons], anytime, anywhere, and will not do so in the future.” Trump said on Thursday that “something should happen” with regard to Assad in the wake of Tuesday’s attack.

The U.S. has launched 50 to 60 Tomahawk missiles against the Syrian military base near Homs after President Donald Trump ordered the strikes in response for the chemical attack in Idlib, blaming the incident on President Bashar Assad.U.S. ships stationed in the Mediterranean Sea reportedly launched the strike on Syria’s Shayrat airbase on Thursday night local time. Fifty-nine U.S. Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles were launched from the U.S. warships USS Porter and USS Ross from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said in a statement.

“Of course if the ranks of the terrorist armies are made up of dunderheaded idiots, the elitist echelons seem comprised of those substantially devoid of imagination. It’s like they keep trying to pull off the same con job over and over again, thinking nobody will get wise.

A good many of us have indeed grown wise, but one who still remains bamboozled, at least if we go by his comments in the above video, is Donald Trump. This is the most inflammatory, war-like rhetoric we’ve seen yet from Trump. Is it really possible that neither the president nor his advisors have stopped to consider the point that security specialist and counter-terrorism advisor Charles Shoebridge makes by way of analysis in the following video–i.e. that at a time when it has been making “great victories sweeping across Syria in the fight against the rebels,” the Assad government really would have no motivation whatsoever for carrying out an attack of this nature…and that “the people who benefit from this kind of attack are the rebels themselves,” as the analyst puts it? Is it really possible Trump hasn’t considered this, or that he hasn’t bothered to question what the media, who he not so long ago accused of spreading fake news, are now reporting on this alleged chemical attack?

Or, alternately, is it possible that Trump has now (regardless of what he may or may not have been in the past) become a pawn of the deep state?”(Fig Trees and Vineyards, 5/4/2017)

The Syrian government was quickly blamed by the West after the terrorists-controlled Idlib region saw a chemical attack that reportedly killed dozens of civilians. However, a UK security analyst told RT the rebels were the only force that benefited from the incident.

Terrorist gangs are losing ground and suffer serious losses on the entire Syrian territory: despite the help in arms and men from neighboring countries, as well as those of the Western intelligence services, and despite the air raids and bombings by the Zionist entity, both Al-Nusra Front that Daesh (and gangs related to them), continue to be decimated and annihilated by the Syrian armed forces and their allies.Why the Damascus government should take an action so stupid (just after a session of international peace talks), to get in a bad light and undermining the already difficult relations with the nations of the Western world? Cui bono, cui prodest?

Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Fayssal Mikdad stressed that a few weeks ago, the Syrian government provided the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) with information on the transporting of toxic substances into Syria by Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization, affirming that Syria stands against using chemical weapons by anyone, anywhere, and under any circumstances.

Interviewed by al-Mayadeen TV on Tuesday, Mikdad indicated that over the past few weeks, the Syrian government has provided the OPCW and the UN with documented reports on transporting toxic substances into Syria and storing them to do such an act by the terrorist organizations including Jabhat al-Nusra, pointing out that these documents were obtained by the OPCW and the UN Security Council.

Mikdad said, referring in this regard to the statement of the head of the Turkish regime Recep Tayyip Erdogan in which he shed crocodile tears for the fate of the Syrian people although he is responsible for the death of tens of thousands of Syrians.

“We are witnessing one of the attacks which have been repeated over the past few weeks and months”,
he went on to say, indicating that the victory of Aleppo and the advances achieved by the Syrian Arab Army in the surroundings of Damascus and Hama are the reason behind this attack.

He called upon the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura to be reasonable and to practice the role of honest mediator, and not to stand by terrorism, adding that the terrorist groups and their backers in Britain, France, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are the ones who committed this crime……………………..

A gas attack has reportedly taken place in Khan Sheikhoun, in the mercenary-terrorists held Idlib province, killing at least 58 people, with various media outlets reporting that a rocket has since hit a hospital treating the victims. A Syrian military source has denied that Damascus was behind the attack.

Pictures circulated by terrorist members of the Al-Qaeda’s White Helmets showed rescue group using hoses to wash down the injured, as well as two men with white foam around their mouths.

The foreign-backed mercenary-terrorist groups of Daesh (IS, ISIS, ISIL) and Al-Nusra Front (Al-Qaeda in Syria) reportedly used many times chlorine-filled shells against the Syrian people as part of their intimidation tactics.

Syria categorically denies using any poisonous gases in Khan Sheikhoun or in any other city or village, affirming that the Syrian Arab army doesn’t possess any form of the chemical weapons, a source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said on Tuesday.

“As usual and since four years, those sides have fabricated fake accusations against the armed forces in the Syrian Arab Republic,” the statement said.

“The Syrian Arab republic stresses that all those fabricated allegations will not prevent it from continuing its war on terrorism, their supporters and sponsors in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and some of the EU countries, and from working for a political solution to the crisis in Syria, Foreign Ministry said, calling on the international community to back its efforts in combating terrorism.

The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces categorically denied on Tuesday allegations and claims circulated by media outlets, which are partner in shedding the Syrian blood, about the use of chemical substances in the town of Khan Shaikhoun in Idleb countryside.

“The armed terrorist groups used to accuse the Syrian Arab Army of using toxic gases against them or against civilians at anytime they fail to implement the targets of their sponsors and operators or when they are unable to achieve any advantages on the ground in an desperate attempt to justify their failure and to maintain the support of their masters,” the Army’s general command said in a statement………………………..

In 2013, the British government launched the pseudo first response unit, the White Helmets, in Turkey.

The White Helmets is a multi-million-dollar-funded so called NGO, paid, equipped and supported by the NATO and Gulf states focused on regime change in Syria.

One year later in 2014, Phillip Hammond, UK Foreign Secretary, was collaborating with the Syrian National Coalition, a Syrian opposition party, heavily populated by the Muslim Brotherhood, on another shadow state project………………….

The Turkish security forces are training some Syrians as part of a force to take action in the areas which they occupy in northern Syria.

According to the ‘Yeni Shafak’ newspaper, translated by the Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar, 450 Syrians undergo a training by the Turkish armed forces to be deployed into the main Syrian-occupied Turkish cities.

It should function as a guarantee for the security of the area.

“Turkey wants to train up to 5,000 police officers as part of this project,” added the paper, with a video of training during which the trained fighters chant slogans, including: “Allahou- Akbar against all oppressors! Long live Turkey! Long live Erdogan! Long live free and worthy Syria!”………………….

While residents of Aleppo are celebrating the liberation of their city, the mainstream media has been painting the opposite picture with sensational headlines decrying alleged atrocities and a “meltdown of humanity” they claim is happening there.

…at around 13:40 on Monday, the entire humanitarian load was safely delivered, after which the Center for Reconciliation stopped monitoring the convoy and its further movement was not tracked by the Russian side…

… an analysis of the video from the scene of events showed no signs of the column’s shelling, such as craters or typical damage to vehicles … all that was demonstrated in the video footage resembles the direct consequence of a cargo fire…

The Russian Defense Ministry has rejected allegations that the Russian Air Force delivered airstrikes on Idlib city, Syria. Reuters earlier reported that Russian airstrikes targeted a number of sites in the city, including one next to a hospital.

According to Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov, the Russian Air Force has not conducted any sorties in the Idlib area.

“No combat missions, let alone delivering airstrikes, have been performed by the Russian Air Force in Idlib province,” Konashenkov said.

The information about Russia’s alleged airstrikes has been spread by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), an NGO run by an individual residing in the UK.

The SOHR reported that the alleged airstrike was “the heaviest bombardment there since a cessation of hostilities was agreed in February,” as cited by Reuters.

It was also reported that the airstrikes targeted several sites, including one next to a hospital, and that at least 23 people were killed, seven children among them.

In its turn, Turkey said the strikes killed more than 60 civilians and injured around 200, as cited by Reuters.

“We urge people to remain critical of any scare stories spread by the ‘British tandem’ of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Reuters news agency,” Konashenkov said.

U.S.A., NATO and their Allies, trying every way to prolong and inflame the war against Syria, in order to achieve the intended purpose: turn Syria such as Libya is unfortunately today, a no man’s land, where the Islamist terrorist gangs roam wreaking havoc, committing all sorts of crimes. Because this is the only way that the empire, dominated by Zion-Khazars, knows to dominate peoples and the world, destroying everything, things, people, histories, arts, cultures, civilizations: only their order after the chaos.

(Sputnik) ~ NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday that the military bloc was discussing requirements of sending planes equipped with airborne warning and control systems (AWACS) to back the US-led coalition in its fight against Daesh terrorist group in Syria.

“What we discussed today was direct AWACS support based on that AWACS can operate in NATO territory, meaning over Turkey but also in the international airspace over the Mediterranean, looking into the airspace over Syria and, if needed, also over Iraq,” Stoltenberg said after a North Atlantic Council meeting in Brussels. We will discuss what more NATO can do to support the efforts of the global coalition fighting ISIL [Daesh]. NATO is already playing a key role in the global fight against terrorism… We are also looking into whether NATO can provide additional support to the coalition fighting ISIL because there has been a request for AWACS support. And that will be discussed during our meeting today,” Stoltenberg told reporters ahead of a meeting of NATO member states’ foreign ministers.

He added NATO member states were discussing how exactly to provide direct support to coalition forces fighting the Daesh terrorist group (banned in Russia) in Syria without having NATO planes in the Syrian airspace as well as collect information to improve the way the coalition is cooperating.

The NATO alliance is not formally engaged in the military campaign against the Daesh, but individual members, including the United States, France, and Turkey, are militarily involved in Syria and Iraq.

During the early stages of the hegemonic powers’ criminal invasion of Iraq when the Abu Ghraib scandal arose, Hersh wrote a couple of critically-acclaimed pieces in the New Yorker–a Zionist rag if there ever was one–supposedly “documenting” how all the torture was the fault of two men, the war criminals Donald Rumsfeld and Stephen Cambone.

What Hersh deliberately failed to mention however, firstly, was that Rumsfeld himself was nothing but the mere front man for Cerberus Global Investments, an immensely powerful holdings firm run by the Jewish supremacist billionaires Michael Steinhardt and Stephen Feinberg, and Cambone was just the literal underling of ultra-Zionist Douglas Feith.

And secondly, Hersh COMPLETELY left off the fact that the barbaric, utterly satanic torture tactics used on Iraqis in that hellhole were in fact ‘Israeli’, taught to the American occupation military by IOF, Shin Bet, Mossad and Aman “experts” (read: torturers of Lebanese and Palestinians) brought in by the Jewish neocons Paul Wolfowitz, the aforementioned Feith, Richard “Prince of Darkness” Perle, William Schneider, Abram Shulsky (who ran the OSP) and others.

Hersh was absolutely destroyed for this abominable cover-up by the ever-brilliant, always-militant Professor James Petras in the fourth chapter (entitled Exposing the Exposé: Seymour Hersh and the Missing Zionist ‘Israeli’ Connection) of his must-read book “The Power of ‘Israel’ in the United States”.

Syrian military and Russian Defense spokespersons deny any implication in the bombing of al-Sukkari hospital in Aleppo area, but assert that a plane of the US-led International Coalition was present in the same time and place.

The focus is instead directed to identify an aircraft that is believed to belong to the US-led International Coalition.

“The Russian defense Ministry had data saying that a warplane for one country of the International coalition flew yesterday in Aleppo skies for the first time”, Konashinkov said.
